Attachment-based Therapists in Elkton, MD

I have been in the helping profession for over 30 years, with experience in supporting individuals and families across the lifespan. I have worked in child welfare and therapeutic settings and am specialized in issues related to trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, and depression.

Will it always have to be this way? I don't know how much more I can take. This is a statement I hear often from clients when they first come to me. Holding hope for clients until they are able to hold it for themselves is a calling I feel honored to provide. I am Jenny Miller, a Master's level pastoral counselor who graduated in 2017 from Liberty University with a Masters in Pastoral Counseling with an emphasis on Crisis & Trauma counseling.

As an Art Therapist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in treating female survivors of relational trauma; including Domestic Violence, sexual, and Narcissistic abuse. Have you been the victim of relational trauma, either by a caregiver or a partner? This type of trauma can cause significant damage to the "self." Learning to love and trust yourself again is possible. Your authentic "self" is waiting to be re-born. Learn to embrace your trauma, heal, and discover your unique voice and purpose. No artistic ability is required, just a willingness to engage in the creative process, and explore your spirituality.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist that is a good fit for you and how challenging that search can feel. My primary focus as your therapist is that you feel understood and seen. I work to provide a safe space for you to feel heard, and a space where it is safe to challenge yourself. We will work within this safe space to make connections regarding how your past impacts your present life and with this awareness we will strive to find peace in the present.

I approach treatment from a worldview that believes individuals are unique and gifted, created with meaning and purpose, and made to have a relationship with God and others. Because of brokenness in ourselves and in the world, we experience conflict and struggle, often severe enough to impact our ability to function each day and find joy in living. When we are able to understand our experiences in context of what is true, healing begins.

Do you feel like you are not living your life to its full potential? Are you utilizing unhealthy coping strategies? If you are feeling unsure, worried, or not like yourself? You've come to the right place! I work with my clients to help them reach their optimal wellness. Together we reduce anxieties, build and mend relationships, and tackle anything life can throw at you. I use a strengths-based and solution-focused approach as well as a verity of techniques to meet each of my clients’ unique needs.

Today, let’s start becoming the best version of you! Often, we get hung up on defining ourselves by what we have, what we have done and what we have been through. What we neglect to think about is the opportunity we have daily to start anew and change the way we think and feel. Therapy offers the opportunity to have support in processing, finding direction and learning how to continuously cope with the unpredictable nature of life. I truly believe that when we have a safe, nonjudgmental space to be our authentic selves, we can have the freedom to feel vulnerable and gain an understanding of who we are and who we want to become.

Life is full of experiences that can feel overwhelming and our ability to cope is often affected by factors that feel beyond our control. Using trauma-sensitive practices, I seek to validate and encourage clients as they navigate these challenges in their healing journey. Humans are unique and therapy should match the client. I take a person-centered approach to build trust to explore and gain insight into the areas of life that are currently a struggle for you. We will work collaboratively to meet you where you are and equip you with new tools to help you on the path towards becoming the best version of you.

Hello! I have a passion for helping those navigating challenges related to the stresses of family caregiving, grief and loss, chronic-illness, anxiety, depression, trauma and end-of-life circumstances. I embrace a person-centered and strengths-based approach to foster empowerment and encourage positive change in ways you find meaningful. I believe therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, which is why, through an intersectional-feminist lens, I utilize therapeutic processes tailored to your unique needs to cultivate collaboration, authenticity, hope, inclusion and empowerment.

The path towards healing takes our minds and hearts on a journey that brings up memories of early adversity, past traumas, and present-day challenges. This can feel overwhelming to process and navigate given the complexity of our lived experiences and their impact on well-being. My practice work focuses on how childhood events intersect with current life dynamics and wellness, through the development of a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

The path towards healing takes our minds and hearts on a journey that brings up memories of early adversity, past traumas, and present-day challenges. In the face of adversity and trauma, we are biologically wired to adapt, leading to creative ways of coping that often no longer serve us in healthy, supportive, loving environments. I know this can feel overwhelming to process and navigate given the complexity of your lived experiences and the impact on well-being. I strive to provide a space for clients that gives them permission to explore what is still serving them as well as what they would like to let go of.

Everyone deserves to be their best self but life often interferes and we can pick up doubts, insecurities, overwhelming feelings and/or numbness. I have a passion for helping people find meaning and purpose in their life experiences and believe that we all have the natural ability to heal when given the right space and skills necessary for growth and transformation. I have over 20 years of experience working with adults and specialize in trauma treatment, including healing from adverse childhood experiences, physical and sexual traumas, combat traumas, workplace traumas, and everything in between.
